Dose Cheerleaders put the ‘man’ in manatee FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS - The Florida Marlins major league baseball team is looking for some fat men with dancing feet as it seeks to create an all-male, plus-size cheerleading squad to be dubbed the Manatees. The team hopes to recruit seven to 10 chubby men to dance and jiggle during Friday and Saturday home games this season. Real manatees, 1,200-pound mammals sometimes referred to as “sea cows," are not considered the most agile of creatures. The Marlins want their Manatees to have the same dimensions but to be decidedly more agile. Men will be judged on how well they' dance a choreographed routine. Men selected for the Manatees won’t be paid; they’ll get tickets to games at which they perform. NOTED.
